Tight Little Island

first edition

1950·Boston

by MACKENZIE, Compton

Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1950. Very Good/Very Good. First American edition (published in the U.K. as Whiskey Galore!). A touch of fraying at the spine ends, about very good in very good dustwrapper with some sunnning, particularly on the spine, and some modest chipping at the crown. Residents of two Scottish islands fall into mass depression when all the whiskey is exported during the war, until a ship full of whiskey founders off-shore. Basis for the 1949 film Whiskey Galore! directed by Alexander Mackendrick, the film was nominated for a BAFTA for Best British Film. (Inventory #: 99285)
